GA-7BESH-RH Motherboard
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
power connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

GA-7BESH-RH Motherboard
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process
2-1: Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink
Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following
cautions:
1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparable damage.
2. Never force the processor into the socket.
3. Apply thermal grease on the processor before placing cooling fan.
4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
5. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause
improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
2-1-1: Installing CPU
Step 1 Raise the metal locking lever on the socket.
Step 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket.
Step 3 Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The CPU only fits in one orientation.
Step 4 Once the CPU is properly placed, please replace the plastic covering and push the metal
lever back into locked position.

Hardware Installation Process
2-1-2: Installing Heat Sink
Step 1.
Please apply heatsink paste on the surface of
the installed CPU.
Step 5.
Attach the power connector of the heatsink to the
CPU fan header located on the motherboard.
Step 2.
Preparing heat sink installation kit.
Step 3.
Turn the mother bord to the backside. Lock the
retention module on the mother board
Make sure the position of the 4 holes on the
retention module match exactly the position on
the motherboard.
Step 4.
Secure the heatsink supporting-base onto the
CPU socket on the mainboard.

2-2: Install memory modules
GA-7BESH-RH has 8 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sokcets. It supports the 4 FB-DIMM
Channels Technology. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size during system boot.
For detail DIMM installation, please refer to the following instructions.
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
DIMMA1/A2
DIMMB1/B2
DIMMC1/C2
DIMMD1/D2
13
Hardware Installation Process
Installation Steps:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards.
2. Aling a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notches in the
socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMMinto the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place.
4. Please note that each logical DIMM must be made of two identical DIMMs having the same
device size on each and the same DIMM size.
5. Reverse the installation steps when you want to remove the DIMM module.
